Sixth Step -> Video/Action for Olivine

[falseshore]

[G'morning, everyone! Hope whoever's watching this doesn't mind some shaky video. It doesn't start off that way--the camera's pointed towards Rep's panicked face first, then up to the sky, then back to his face.]

This thing just hatched a few days ago, and--

[He moves the gear's camera again to catch a baby Aerodactyl flying in small circles above him.]

--and I have no idea how to train it, since it won't listen to me at a--aagh!

[The camera swings wildly, catching a flash of grey and several crashes just off-camera. Someone's used Rock Slide on his trainer, but either aimed poorly or just missed. When the video settles, it's showing the resulting pile of rocks, a Jigglypuff wandering into the frame to check them out. Off-camera are a Noctowl attempting to 'talk' to the Aerodactyl and a Houndoom.]

...I'd like to get him back in his ball, at least.

I used music and a Psychic type to train Aglon... they aren't good with words, but if yours is less... um, like Riku's Terror, you can try something similar.

I used a water type to shoot Aglon down when she got all uppity.

Voice

[falseshore]

I don't have any water types...

[Yet. He hasn't been as interested in them so far.]

I haven't tried music yet.

Voice

[for_realsies]

Well, you can get an ice type, that would do it too. Something ranged to take it out of the air.

I dunno if the music thing works all the time, but it works with all my Pokemon. But they get used to me and my... meness. So music is pretty much always a thing. I sing with the route music sometimes!

Voice

[falseshore]

The route music...oh, the stuff that plays in the background. You actually like that?

[Really, he shouldn't be surprised that she would.]

I bet Nami could knock him out of the air if she wanted to, since he's still a baby...Pink Thing, get over here.

[It's almost a pity Laguna doesn't have his Aerodactyl with him on the road, but...
Right now, he's riding his Pidgeot - his Pidgeot who's running across the land. Givin' Steelix a rest.]
Have y'tried offering it some food? When Riley first hatched, he wouldn't do anything until I gave him some meat.
[Of course, Riley is the opposite of most Aerodactyl...]

[video]

[falseshore]

I bought some meat for him, but he doesn't seem to want it. Wrong kind?

[Possibly because it's just bored, rather than hungry. Who knows.]

Action!

[itsjustdust]

Holy... When did this happen?

Action!

[falseshore]

When did what happen? Watch out.

[Rep's sitting on the ground, and the Aerodactyl is still flying around above him, but if Obito approaches, he might get divedbombed by the tiny dino.]

Action!

[itsjustdust]

[He pointed at the sky.] This guy.

Action!

[falseshore]

Hatched from an egg I bought a few weeks ago.

[The 'duh' is implied here.]

[audio]

[soggypastry]

Have you tried knocking him out the sky yet? Getting him in his ball while he's down could work. [A short pause, then a snort.] He probably wouldn't appreciate it, though.

[audio]

[falseshore]

No...but that's not a bad idea.

[He might just sound a little too excited about doing that. But there'll be (mostly) silence on his end as he attempts that.]

[audio]

[soggypastry]

[Perhaps a little too excited, but given the situation, she can't really fault him for it. Instead she'll just go about her business until he speaks again; after all, there's plenty of other things to do around here.]

[audio]

[falseshore]

[For a few minutes, it'll be mostly silent, then she'll hear a screech and Rep shouting.]

Come down here and I won't have to do thi--whoa, not like that...

[Another screech and a thud.]

Stop squirming!

[The 'mon divedbombed him, he grabbed it, and is currently trying to hold onto it.]

[papshooshing]

Slap that beast on the snout every time he's unruly. Claim your goddamn dominance.

[falseshore]

I would if I could reach him. He's kinda several feet above my head right now.

[papshooshing]

So knock him down and then teach him a lesson.

[falseshore]

I'm trying. Just more carefully so I don't hurt myself more than I already have.

Won't smacking him just irritate him more?

[ video ]

[gracefall]

Wow! [ that is officially her reaction to every new pokemon she's seen on the gear. ]

...it looks like it'd take a ballista to take that beast down.

[ video ]

[falseshore]

What's a ballista?

[ video ]

[gracefall]

It's a siege weapon that shoots arrows! ...I guess they wouldn't have those here, and it's probably not good to shoot at these pokemon thingies.

[ video ]

[falseshore]

I'm not trying to kill him, just get him down to where I can catch him. I don't even know where I'd go to find one of those weapons.

[heartdive]

Having problems?

[falseshore]

Several. Have any suggestions?

[heartdive]

Nope!
